Hold on! Microsoft has a Windows Server edition (not to be confused with the Hyper-V feature itself) called "Hyper-V Server 2012" that is free (runs the Core role and is CLI only), and you can virtualize it (with itself) to as many VMs as you'd like? http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2012/09/07/getting-started-with-hyper-v-server-2012-hyperv-virtualization-itpro.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2012/09/07/get...
